We are tempted to "put God to the test" in various areas of life. Instead of focusing on these phenomena, God's Word directs us to His greatest sign: Jesus Christ crucified and resurrected.
We're a Gospel-centered church fellowship in Columbia, Missouri, proclaiming salvation through Jesus Christ and following Him together as a community of believers. Our emphases are sound Bible teaching, joyful worship, hearty fellowship, and ongoing evangelism.

Fervent, Forgiving Love in the Church
"Above all", Peter urges in 1Peter 4:8, Christians much maintain a fervent love for each other. Because of this love, they will be able to "cover" a "multitude of sins" (and other offenses) in genuine forgiveness.

Motivations for Holy Living
In 1Peter 4:1-7 the
Apostle Peter exhorts his readers to forsake sin and pursue holiness.
This message examines six strong motives for greater sanctification as found in
these verses.

"Baptism Now Saves You"
This message examines the topic of water baptism. On the one hand we may be tempted to despise baptism -- either failing to be baptized ourselves or not appreciating the beneficial role of baptism in our salvation. On the other hand, many make too much of baptism, even perverting the Gospel by adding human good works to the all-sufficient saving work of Christ. We seek to avoid both extremes by rightly understanding the Apostle Peter's teaching in 1Peter 3:21.

The Days of Noah
The Biblical account of Noah, the Ark, and the Flood teaches five great truths: (1) Christ is involved in the preaching of truth, (2) God is amazingly patient with sinners, (3) God is nevertheless willing to punish sinners in a devastating way, (4) Most people will not heed the warning of coming judgement, and (5) A few will be saved by faith in Christ (of whom the Ark is a type).

Tuesday evening Bible Study location change
As we've announced at recent meetings, the location of
our Tuesday evening Bible Study is being changed. Beginning with this
coming Tuesday, June 4, we will be meeting at the Paquin Tower building about two miles west of my house.
Paquin Tower is a 15 story (tallest building in Columbia) apartment building situated at the northern edge of the MU campus. The building has 200 units of subsidized housing for people with disabilities, and all the residents have been invited to the Study. We will be meeting in the main floor lobby "dining room" area. The start time will continue to be at 6:30PM.
The building is conveniently located, being a little south of Broadway and a little west of College Blvd. The simplest route is to take Broadway to College Blvd., then turn left (south) on College and, after a few blocks, turn right (west) onto Paquin Street. The Paquin Tower main lobby entrance is on the right. You (definitely) can't miss it.
Abundant parking is available on Paquin Street and surrounding streets. All the metered street parking is free after 6PM. We've been asked to NOT park in the Paquin Tower parking lot.
Here's a Google map of the location:

We're thankful to have a meeting place in such a great location, and we're especially thankful for the outreach opportunity toward the building's residents. We greatly need the Lord's help to bring the right folks to the Study and make future study times profitable.

Christ Brings Us to God
The heart of the gospel message is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christ went through all these things "that He might bring us to God".
